3d print: Globe holder

A colleague of mine asked me to build and print a replacement part for his globe. Unfortunately, this thing is right on the edge of what is still printable and generally not an easy undertaking, but here is the timelapse of my attempt, which I unfortunately had to make a little smaller than the original (about 96%), because otherwise it simply wouldn’t have fit on the printing plate. I hope it still just about fits. Since I can’t see ...

3d printing stand for cable channel

My equipment at work with 3 x 27“ displays now takes up quite a bit of space on the desk. Together with the keyboard, mouse, docking station and other things, there is simply not enough room to place anything else so that it doesn’t block the view of the displays. So I thought of something to put a cell phone or a telephone with a stand: A cable duct storage system. There are large cable ducts on the walls of the old building and thus ...

Bambu Lab P1S: How to also make sure that the Orca slicer does not send data

Those who have already read the 1. article on the Bambu Lab P1S by me know that I have limited faith in the printer’s privacy policy. As good as the whole system is otherwise (and you have to hand it to the printer: It’s pretty good in terms of print quality, etc.), the privacy issues with the system are serious. In the meantime, however, I’ve actually blocked everything, so there shouldn’t really be any more privacy leaks. But one ...

Bambu Lab P1S: Really nice finish

What you really have to hand it to the P1S is the finish on a straight plane. While this is still quite “uneven“ and fibrous on the Replicator 2, it is very smooth on the P1S. P1S already very fine. You see virtually no webs and a very clean finish even with a relatively small Elements. And here you can see a Time-Labs from this print, which, by the way, is automatically recorded by the internally installed camera and stored on the MicroSD ...

3d printing: mini spare part for my car

At some point, a small part of my car was simply gone. Maybe the workshop forgot to reassemble it after a procedure, maybe it fell off - who knows. In the end it doesn’t matter, but it annoyed me for a long time and even the authorized dealer couldn’t tell me where to get it back or reorder it himself. So today I looked at the part and thought: Then I print it myself. So that it really looks exactly the same, I probably still have to get ...
